INVENTOR. Dwlem' E. KINNAMAN BY mww United States Patent 3,325,917HAKRDRESSERS STYLE NGTEBGOK Dwight E. Kinnaman, St l Hanley St.,Plainfield, ind. 46168 Filed May 3, 1965. Ser. No. 452,832 8 Claims.(Cl. 3559) The present invention relates to a hairdressers stylenotebook and is primarily concerned with providing a device which willaid beauty operators in designing hair arrangements but particularly inmaking permanent or semi-permanent records of arrangements demonstratedby lecturers or teachers.

Hairdressers and students of hair dressing frequently have opportunitiesto attend conventions, seminars, shows or lectures during which personswith special skills demonstrate procedures and arrangements throughwhich special coiifure efiects can be attained. Ordinarily, such alecturer or instructor will actually work with a live model, as hedescribes his procedures, applying rollers of various types and sizes,forming pin curls and arranging elements of equipment upon the modelshead. Unless some kind of visual notes can be retained by his auditorsfor subsequent study, it will be apparent that the lecturersdemonstrations and explanations cannot be effectively absorbed by hisaudience. It has een customary for individuals watching suchdemonstrations to make sketches, as the lecturer proceeds, illustratinghis successive steps; but the sketching skill of the individuals in suchan audience will, of course, vary widely and many such individuals find,when they return to their homes and shops, that their sketched notes areutterly unintelligible.

It is the primary object of the present invention, then, to provideapparatus through the use of which effectively understandable notes canbe quickly and easily produced, during the course of a lecture ordemonstration, even by persons who are completely without sketchingskill.

A further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of thecharacter described by means of which either permanent or semi-permanentillustrations of hair dressing arrangements can be quickly and easilyproduced. Another object of the invention is to provide such apparatusincluding a plurality of representations of each of a variety of rollersand of curl forms, which representations may be transposed for theaccomplishment of the above objectives.

Still another object of the invention is to provide such representationsin a form such that they may be used repeatedly and, between successiveuses, may be conveniently and safely stored for subsequent use.

Still further objects of the invention will appear as the descriptionproceeds.

To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, my invention maybe embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings,attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings areillustrative only, and that change may be made in the specificconstruction illustrated and described, so long as the scope of theappended claims is not violated.

FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a notebook constructed in accordance withthe present invention, the binder being shown open with only one leaf ofits contents exosed; p FIG. 2 is a similar view, but with the reverse ofone leaf and the obverse of another leaf exposed;

FIG. 3 is a similar view, showing the obverse of still another leaf andthe reverse of one of the leaves illustrated in FIG. 2, exposed;

FIG. 4 is a similar view after the right-hand leaf of FIG. 3 has beenturned;

Patented June 20, 1967 FIG. 5 is a similar view after the right-handleaf of FIG, 4 has been turned, and showing a second type of leaf,bearing curl representations, certain of said leaves being broken awayto illustrate a plurality of such leaves arranged in succession in thebinder;

FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view, to an enlarged scale, of such a leaf,illustrating the preferred manner in which a curl representation may beremoved from the leaf;

FIGS. 7 through 16 are illustrations of various forms of curlrepresentations, removed from their respective leaves and ready forapplication to any one of the leaves illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4;

FIG. 17 is an enlarged, the leaf illustrated in FIG. 6;

FIG. 18 is a similar view showing a modified form; and

FIG. 19 is an enlarged view of the leaf illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4,after application thereto of curl representations to produce a finishedsketch.

In the illustrated embodiment of my invention, I have shown a binder 20which may preferably, but not necessarily, be of the ring or loose-leaftype and in which is arranged a series of leaves respectively carryingseparate representations of at least the outline of a human head,including at least some facial features, the separate views being takenfrom various angles. Thus, as shown, the first leaf 21 carries a fullface illustration 22a visible on its obverse surface.

Preferably, the leaves now to be described will be formed of transparentplastic sheet, so that the illustration printed or otherwise appliedthereto will be visible from either side of the sheet. Thus, when theleaf 21 is turned in the binder, the full face View will still bevisible on the reverse side of the sheet, but the eye and ear whichappear to be on the right side of the face as seen in FIG. 1 will appearto be on the left side of the face when the sheet has been turned.

In FIG. 2, I have shown the reverse surface of a second leaf 23 on whichappears a full rear view of the same size and shape head illustrated onleaf 21, the reverse illustration being indicated by the referencecharacter 24b. In FIG. 2, I have shown also a third leaf 25 carrying aleft profile 26a of the same head. FIG. 3 shows the same book after theleaf 25 has been turned, so that a right profile 26b, alloehiral withrespect to the profile 26a, is visible on the reverse surface of theleaf 25. The obverse surface of a further leaf 2'7 bears a left quarterfront illustration 28a; and when the leaf 27 is turned to the positionof FIG. 4, the right quarter front view 28b appears on its reversesurface. Still another leaf 29 carries a left rear quarter View 30a; andwhen that leaf is turned to the position illustrated in FIG. 5, a rightrear quarter view 3011 appears on its reverse surface.

Obviously, either more or fewer leaves similar to the leaves 21 through29, bearing the same or different views, may be provided; and while Iprefer to use the transparent material for such leaves, for the reasonsexplained above, it will be apparent that opaque leaves, separatelyprinted on their opposite surfaces, may be used instead.

Also carried in the binder 20 is a further series 31 of leaves of adifferent character. Each of the leave-s 31 carries a plurality ofrepresentations of curls and/ or curling rollers or other equipment. Theseveral representations on these leaves are proportioned to correspondto the illustrations on the leaves 21 to 29. I have shown a leaf 31acarrying representations 35 of what are known as short, large diameterrollers, a leaf 31b carrying representations 36 of long, medium diameterrollers, a leaf 31c carrying representations 37 of stemless pin curlsand a leaf 31d carrying representations 38 of full stem pin curls; butit will be understood that additional leaves bearing representations ofstill other forms of equipment and/or curls may be included in thebinder and that the fragmentary section through binder may containeither one sheet or a plurality of sheets bearing representations ofeach type of curl or roller.

Each leaf of the 31 series is suitably weakened around the boundary ofeach representation carried thereby, to facilitate the bodily removal ofsuch representation. Preferably, each such leaf is of the laminatedconstruction illustrated in FIG. 17 or in FIG. 18, and comprises abacking sheet 32 and a front sheet 33 with a layer of pressuresensitiveadhesive material 34 interposed therebetween. The Construction is suchthat the adhesive material 34 is more readily separable from the backingsheet 32 than from the front sheet 33. In the preferred form of theinvention, the weakening about the boundary of each curl representationwill constitute a continuous or interrupted slit 45 penetrating thefront sheet 33 and the adhesive material 34 but not the backing sheet32, as shown in FIG. 17. In this form of the invention, when thelaminated leaf is bent slightly adjacent any portion of the slit 45,that portion 45 of the representation, for instance 36, will beseparated from the backing sheet whereupon the representation may bestripped from the backing sheet in the manner suggested in FIG. 6, theadhesive layer 34 adhering to the removed representation. Now, therepresentation so removed may be pressed into place, in the properrelationship, upon any one of the leaves 21 through 29, to correspond tothe location of a similar curl or curler currently being formed orapplied on the head of the model by a lecturer. As the lecture anddemonstration proceeds, the student or auditor will similarly removeappropriate representations from the same or other leaves of the 31series and apply them suitably to one or more of the leaves 21 through29 until, upon completion of the demonstration, the leaf 27, forinstance, will have the appearance illustrated in FIG. 19.

It will be apparent that, if more than one demonstration is made in onesitting, the student may reproduce different arrangements upon separateones of the leaves 21 to 29', or, if desired, the binder 2t) may includea plurality of sets of leaves 21 to 29,in which case the student orother auditor may use all five leaves of a set to reproduce inadditional detail each demonstrated hair arrangement.

It will be apparent that, after the user of my equipment has had anopportunity to study his notes for anyarrangement long enough to fix itin his mind, he may, if he so desires, remove the several curlrepresentations from the leaves 21 through 29 and return them to thevacant spaces on the leaves 31 from which they were originally selected,where they will be available for further use upon any future occasion.

In the form of leaf 31 illustrated in FIG. 45 extend completely throughall three layers of the leaf so that the representation, in laminatedform, may be removed bodily from the leaf. In this form, a further slit47 is preferably formed in the backing sheet 32 to facilitate theremoval of the fragments of backing sheet from the representation 36 andthe adhesive layer, after bodily separation of the laminatedrepresentation from the leaf,

18, the slits I claim as my invention: 1. A hairdressers style notebookcomprising, in a suitable binding, a plurality of separate leaves eachbearing a two-dimensional representation of a human head includ-' ingfacial features, and a further plurality of leaves bearmgrepresentations of Wrapped curls of various types proportioned toconform to the said head representations, the

outline of each curl representation being weakened to.

facilitate its bodily removal from its leaf without the use of tools.

2. The notebook of claim 1 in which the reverse surface of each curlrepresentation is treated to render it adherent to a surface of one ofsaid first-named leaves.

3. The notebook of claim 1 in which the body of each curl representationconsists of a front sheet, a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive onfront sheet, and a backing sheet readily separable from said coating.

4. The notebok of claim 1 in which each of said further leaves consistsof a front sheet, a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the rearsurface of said front sheet, and a backing sheet readily separable fromsaid coating.

5. The notebook of claim 1 in which the reverse surface of each curlrepresentation bears an adhesive coating.

6. The notebook of claim 1 in which each of said firstnamed leaves is asheet of transparent plastic.

7. The notebook of claim 1 in which each of said firstnamed leaves is asheet of transparent plastic, and each of said further leaves consistsof a front sheet, a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the rearsurface of said front sheet, and a backing sheet readily separable fromsaid coating.

8. The notebook of claim 1 in which each of said further leaves consistsof a front sheet, a coating of pressuresensitive adhesive on the rearsurface of said front sheet, and a backing sheet readily separable fromsaid coating, and in which only said from sheet is so weakened, wherebyeach such curl representation may be removed therefrom without affectingsaid backing sheet.
